DESIGN AND TESTING OF CO2 CONCENTRATION CONTROL SYSTEM IN HYUNDAI ACCENT CAR

Abstract

This study focused on the development of a CO₂ concentration control system for automobiles to enhance user safety. Drivers often use an air conditioning system in recirculation mode for extended periods, leading to elevated CO₂ levels in the cabin, which poses a risk of gas poisoning and health issues. The author designed and tested a system that employs sensors to monitor CO₂ levels continuously. Unlike previous studies, this system integrates automatic ventilation controls and window operations to maintain a safe cabin environment. The study also examined potential gas poisoning scenarios and assessed the system's effectiveness in mitigating these risks. The results indicated a significant reduction in CO₂ levels through measures such as adjusting air intake modes and lowering windows. This research not only offers technological solutions but also raises awareness about the health safety of air conditioning users. These findings promise practical improvements to the automotive industry, ensuring safer travel for users.
